I'll have a look at it. For the moment I see that many
important things to do which are purely XEmacs:
installation difficulties, memory leaks, redundancies,
missing char classes etc. I'll be happy if that kind of

Nonewithstanding XEmacs must not sync up with bugs or
unconveniences as in commenting.
Let's take it.
